An enzyme is a protein molecule that catalyzes the rate of a chemical reaction. Enzymes are obtained from micro-organisms, plants, animals, etc. and aid in conversion of reactants into products. Industrial enzymes are primarily used in food processing, alcohol production, manufacturing of chemicals used for cleaning of fabrics, etc. On the basis of functionality, industrial enzymes are categorized into carbohydrases, proteases, lipases, and others. Among these, the demand for carbohydrases is growing at the fastest pace in India as they are widely used in various industries such as baking, brewing, dairy, etc. Increasing demand for packaged food, dairy products, detergents and pharmaceuticals that aid in digestion is driving the country's industrial enzymes market. Moreover, an increasing number of detergent manufacturersare shifting their focus towards adopting enzymes for detergent formulations due to environmental concerns associated with the usage of phosphorus in detergents.

According to “India Industrial Enzymes Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2020”, India Industrial enzymes market is forecast to surpass US$ 361 million by 2020 on account of increasing food processing facilities, growing number of tanneries and rising textile manufacturing facilities in the country. Northern region is the largest consumer of industrial enzymes and is expected to continue its dominance through 2020 on account of increasing presence and anticipated expansion of food processing, leather manufacturing and textile production facilities in the region. India industrial enzymes market is dominated by Novozymes South Asia Pvt. Limited, E.I. DuPont India Pvt. Limited, and Advanced Enzymes.
